I have a software that requires to be compiled on a 32-bit operating system. I want to download the official ISO image of Windows XP Professional and build a VM on VirtualBox to compile my software. If someone can confirm that XP can in-fact be downloaded using an MSDN license, I would procure one.
PS: I'm not looking for other 32-bit operating systems. I'm looking only for Windows XP and particularly the 32-bit variant.
Appreciate your time. Thank you.

Hi
You cannot download windows XP from official Microsoft website because it’s not supported by Microsoft.

If you, like me, have an approximately 25 year old laptop with a license for win xp prof. and the hard drive needed to be replaced, does it make sense that I can't get hold of an original iso file to recreate the operating system I am entitled to? Microsoft has blocked all other download sites in this regard is my conclusion after several hours of searching. NOTE that I don't want anything else than original, ie win xp prof. in this old nice laptop in new condition, in an unusually beautiful color (Acer one)
Hi, I have access to my.visualstudio.com at work, and I have a Visual Studio Subscription - and yes you can download Windows XP from there I see, but I will not recommend it.
